Anorthernsoul 867 Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 He's hit a bit of form but we're going to lose him for up to a month because of the Asian Cup which is a bit shit. Link to post Share on other sites

AFCON moved to be in July a couple of years ago. Losing Ki is a blow though. Just had a look at the details and he could be gone for fucking ages! Tournament starts on the 5th of Jan and he can be called up 15 days before that (we're in negotiations with the SKFA on that front) their last group game is the 16th of January and the final is the 1st of February. So we're losing our best performing midfielder for our busiest period of the season. Balls. Link to post Share on other sites

The top leagues in Europe pay big money for these guys to miss almost a 1/5th of the season? Asia has to rethink this tournament. Link to post Share on other sites

He should retire from internationals now, shouldn't he? I love my country, but I'd be pissed if an important Newcastle squad player left for 8/9 games to play for Canada. Well, except for David Edgar. Link to post Share on other sites
RobinRobin 628 Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Is Muto involved, as well? Not that he has had much game time recently. Link to post Share on other sites

Anorthernsoul 867 Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 If Rafa is wanting players in they need to be in early as the squad is paper thin already, we know this won't happen though. Link to post Share on other sites

When asked about how the transfer planning for January is going, worryingly the manager replied that no targets are yet being pursued because as yet he still has no idea of what budget, if any, he will have to spend.

trooper 478 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ki came off in the 58 minute of the opening game of the Asia Cup with a hamstring injury. He is now on his way back to Newcastle as he's no longer required for the last 16 for South Korea Link to post Share on other sites
